This lecture in Buenos Aires on November 4, 1964 was originally titled, “The Freedom of the Church in the Communist State.”
Reverend Fathers, military authorities, ladies and gentlemen,
It is a great pleasure and privilege to speak to this audience, and I say so not just out of kindness. Indeed, it is truly satisfying for a speaker to communicate with his listeners and realize that everyone stands for the same ideals, has the same mindset, and cares about the same problems.
That is a pleasure, particularly when there is a growing perception in Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American countries that they face the same issues. More than in other historical epochs, one can say that everything unites us, and nothing separates us.
Therefore, I am gladly addressing tonight what I see as a basic issue in today’s life. Today we are facing such an accumulation of problems that it is no small thing to say that this one is basic.
Imagine that you are in the Kremlin. Top leaders of international …More
@spinmeister Yeah I didn't think you knew about the Vatican Moscow agreement! Here's a cool link for those who want to get more understanding on why Our Lady of Fatima's message has been silenced! Pretty much what you are trying to do. Silence it and change its content to suit Moscow. Makes me wonder about you, why? Hmmm... catholictradition.org/Mary/fatima5.htm
I don't wonder about you Jeffrey. You have made it very clear that you make erroneous assumptions that lead to erroneous conclusions. And your assumptions you state as facts. Plus, you are uncharitable and have a weak mind.
@spinmeister Thank you for engaging me! I trust Father Gruner over 1peter5 any day. Since I am following others works I am not making assumptions. I am just pointing them out. I do not see how I am being uncharitable standing up for Our Lady of Fatima, and the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary? I do have a weak mind, but I can still see the truth despite my flaws! God bless you!
It's obvious that you can't. And all of the assumptions you have made about me are incorrect and certainly not contained in the works of others, but in your own rigid thinking.
And putting up an inappropriate emoticon rather than a thoughtful response just reinforces the observation that you aren't the brightest.
You know that Fatima is a private revelation. No one, including no Catholic, is obliged to believe in Fatima as a matter of faith. Our Lord is ultimately in the driver's seat, but it is Satan who is the ultimate perpetrator of evil, not Russia. No Pope ever pronounced any sort of sentence on Russia. It's you, and you alone that say that Russia is dictating US and Israeli policy. And of course, this is just your speculation because you want some simplistic answer to all the evil in the world that implicates Russia. Russia will never be consecrated in a manner that satisfies everyone, especially since the Popes are not Popes and Bishops are not Bishops or validly consecrated themselves, which is much more consequential than anything coming out of Russia.
@spinmeister Thank you for answering me. Catholics know all about the Fatima message. I am part of those Catholics who recognize their enemy because of Our Blessed Mother's warning about the "Errors of Russia." Our Lady said that did she not? I have posted this which clearly shows that Pius XI called out Moscow as the center of the anti Catholic Western Civilization. Moscow is in Russia right? I am not alone in my assertion regarding Russia's errors dictating US policy. Or Russia's evil intent to destroy Western civilization. They are quite open about it. It is easy to connect the dots. Cui Bono? Russia and China. Russia with the center of the anti Catholic headquarters. You actually make a pretty good point about the simplest answer being correct, that is Occam's Razor. You even support my thesis which is not just mine and mine alone. I stand on the shoulders of Giants! Pius XI and Father Fahey for example! Now seeing how you don't believe in Our Lady of Fatima although the Catholic Church does, it is obvious you don't believe Our Lady said Russia will be consecrated and converted. Father Gruner(another giant) said, "So, in conclusion, peace will only come to the world through obedience to Our Lady of Fatima and Her solemn command to the Pope and bishops to consecrate Russia in the form prescribed. Thus, we can see that it is urgent for the proper fulfillment of the Fatima requests that this Vatican-Moscow agreement be widely known so that the Church can protect itself against it." You know about the Vatican Moscow agreement don't you? Or do you just stick your head in the sand?
Pius XI pontificate 1922- 1939 known for navigating the Church through the rise of European totalitarianism, signing the Lateran Treaty of 1929 to establish Vatican City sovereignty, and promoting missionary work. Fatima 1917, Bolshevik Revolution 1917, WWI 1917, WWII 1939. Mary was speaking of things current to the time of her apparition and of WWII in the near future. Pius XI reign was over 100 years ago, as were the other world tragedies which were then occurring. If Mary appeared today I believe she would be speaking about the tragedy of what has befallen the Church. She would be speaking of the apostasy and perversity of the clergy. And she would be speaking of the evil deeds of the United States and Israel. She would no longer be warning about Russia.
"With their smile, which we know too well, some famous Christian Democrat leftists propose the same thing. And they present it with the superiority of someone who found an elegant formula that only silly or ‘retarded’ minds cannot understand. They behave condescendingly as experienced chemists handle and play with explosives to show that coexistence poses no danger. They sport a little smile with a look of pity for poor people like us who believe that coexistence is dangerous."
"Now, people’s moral fiber breaks down when a situation calls for taking a heroic position, and they are perplexed and hesitant. At the moment of danger, very many people will evidently lack the psychological means to resist."
One more comment from Jeffrey Ade
@spinmeister Hah! Know your enemy! "Russia is of no importance at all any more." And yet there it is, the center of the anti Catholic West. Go figure! Well if you just learned a little about Trump for example you would see he is a Russian asset. Then it would take one line to connect that dot. Another line would connect the Israeli State to Russia then you would have another dot. So if the Catholic Church is True then Russia is orchestrating US, and Israeli policy. To say Russia is not involved is a denial of the teachings of the popes and Our Lady of Fatima's warning! And the prophecy is not fulfilled, it is being fulfilled. It ain't over until Russia is consecrated as Our lady requested. Therefore Russia is in the drivers seat. You have effectively tossed Our Lady of Fatima in the waste bin.
You know that Fatima is a private revelation. No one, including no Catholic, is obliged to believe in Fatima as a matter of faith.

The prophecy has been fulfilled. The errors have spread. We had a "Pope" worshiping a pagan demon idol over the grave of St. Peter. We had a "Pope" telling the world that all religions are equal and all lead to God. We're actually way, way, past the errors of Russia. Catch up and prioritize. Russia is of no importance at all any more. It's certainly no worse than the United States, which recently murdered tens of thousands of innocent women and children in Palestine for absolutely no benefit to anyone but the terrorist state of Israel, the people who murdered Christ. And, the US just started another war, without any provocation, and has killed thousands more, and threatens the deaths of billions from starvation. The Catholic Church was overthrown, and has become the seat of the Antichrist. How does that compare to Russia?
Says @spinmeister ? You definitely are living up to your namesake with that comment! I guess we can toss what Our Lady of Fatima said about the "Errors of Russia," in the wastebasket now, can we?
This was written pre-Vatican II and during the height of the Cold War. The worst chastisement has already come. The true Church of Christ, the true Holy Roman Catholic Church was infiltrated, subverted, and fractured into tiny remnants. The leaders of the false Church are all apostates and heretics. Countless souls have been lost. No need to discuss Communism.
